After shaving...
Rather than make one huge post on my shaving experiences, I'll break it up into a couple / few. This one is about what the effects of Milady and I shaving have been...
Well, shaving the first time didn't go so well with Milady. It makes too many red bumps and hurts and itches for her to like it. The first time we did it was a little rushed and I didn't get to do as good a job as I would have liked, so there were some hairs left to make life miserable. (Of course that happened to me as well, I didn't realize how much of a difference missing a few can make) We tried again in a couple days, but still the red bumps of ingrowns and likely razor burn. And the itching.
Oh, the itching. I've tried to give her Cortizone cream, Benydryl, Vagisil, and the Pjur Eros lube. (All at different times after the other had been removed by shower or time) Nothing seemed to help. We also got some Gillete lady aftershave with Aloe and Vit E, and she seems to like that. I've tried it too, it's ok. I still like the lube :-)
Eventually/soon I will try Halx's suggestion of Vaseline after shaving...
After some of the hairs grew back, she tried Nair on the upper pubes area, it only took off about 2/3 of the hair. I don't recall it smelling that bad. I didn't try the Nair myself. I'm more comfortable with shaving than chemicals.
We just did it together again a couple nights ago, she shaved her pubes and I did the rest. I'm a lot better at it now, it was a clean shave. I think she liked it.
I recently bought my first really nice razor for myself, a Mach 3 Power- it has a battery and vibrates. While the vibrating is cool on the face, I didn't like it vibrating while shaving 'down there'. It worked wonders for the job though :-)
This morning I tried the suggestion of someone here to shave dry with my Mach 3. It worked! It was quick, and seemed pretty effective. So far I like it because of the speed and much smaller mess. I will probably alternate between wet and dry until I get a feel for the effects of both ways...
